Best Fashion Content, I: “we are practicing for the met gala”

Stupidest Controversy: Balenciagate
This is all so dumb. I hated it.

Best Queer Creation: Jerrod Carmichael Rothaniel
Even if you “know” this is a coming out narrative, it’s just a perfect creation. Part memoir, part one person show, it’s an accomplishment in comedy specials. It’s a perfect queer creation.

A Great Movie: Barbarian
I didn’t watch a lot of movies last year but I did watch this and it was exceptional.

Best Celebrity Story: Lizzo sends fan her AMAs dress to wear at event: ‘It’s easy to be kind’

African American Vernacular English is not unprofessional. Just ask all these million dollar corporations that appropriate it in their marketing.

Really wish I understood what level of success will satiate these people. Cultural dominance, billions, oscar noms for Black Panther, Joker & Logan. When does the underdog routine stop

Shae Lovve brings a bit of girl-next-door observational comedy with general Gen Z mania, landing in a space that is as silly as it is personal. She’s going to have a big year, after going viral so many times in 2022. Another creator to watch, for similar reasons: Tanner Tan.

Word of the Year: “chronically online”
Without which we wouldn’t have had “nepotism baby” or" “ick” or “unalive.” This seemed to have caught our mania.

Emoji of the Year: 😂
A late contender, but only because of Elon Musk. I think this captures how fucking stupid the world is and, as Gen Z starts to use it more / again, will have brands and media people who said the emoji was “dead” eating their hats.
